Course Evaluation

The initial evaluation showed that of the 6,985 participants who registered for the online course between May 2017 - February 2018, a total of 3,466 (49.62%) completed the online pretest questionnaire. Knowledge of the addiction medicine increased significantly post-certificate (mean difference 28.21; 95% CI 27.32 to 29.10; P<.001). This free, online, open-access certificate in addiction medicine appeared to improve knowledge of learners from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds.
